Do you have a smartphone?
 

There has been a lot of news recently about people wanting phones to go back to basics and people are buying phones which were made in the naughties for surprising prices.

Do you have a modern phone or are calls and a game of snake all you want?

Yes I have smartphones

I've got an iPhone 4, I need a new one badly, It's so slow and old.

I have an LG phone running Android, I need a new one though. :(

Yes, iPhone 4s

:unsure:

i got one but like that comedian said they spend most of the time on charge. really annoys me.

Samsung Galaxy Ace

Really, not heard anything about it, have you a link for this news article Jessica? and what are surprising prices :laugh:

no and I don't plan on getting one either.

no, not got one and don't want one, some times keeping it simple is best.
some people just want a phone for calls and texts. hence no need for a smart phone.

I have an iphone 4, pretty good, I could be getting a new phone when I go on contract though.

It's not that old..

Sort of, I just have the own brand Vodafone mini smart which only costs about £45, it's not great but it has everything I need

Im not materialistic, I dont need the latest gadgets to keep in touch with those I care about, nor do I need to impress anyone ,in fact I think its all pretty sad that folk have to have the latest, dearest, things to fill their empty lives with ,and how do doleys,children afford them ?

I have an iPhone 4s....due an upgrade but not really bothered about getting a new one.

Nokia Lumia 625. Not the best not the worst and does the job fine. The novelty of apps and games wore off after about 4 months.

This is where I first heard about it unfortunately but there are many more similar stories on other sites.

Got one a few days ago and cannot imagine going back to the brick

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact which replaced my Nokia N8. Mainly use it for the web. Would not want a basic phone now.

I have a note 3. This is it next to an iphone 5

Fixed.

That's quite a lot of assumptions to make based on something as simple as the phone one has. Is there a reason you're so angry about it? :conf:

I have one, but not because "I need the latest gadgets", because I intend to keep it for a good long while if it remains in useable condition, I love it, it's perfect for me and I don't see the need to replace it. Even though a newer model has recently been released. Sure, it's fairly recent as far as phones go, but it's not "the latest gadget".

I'm also not materialistic. I have the phone I have because it's fun. I don't walk down the street waving it around like it's a trophy.

And yeah, my life is not empty. Even if it was, I'm pretty sure a bloody mobile phone wouldn't change that. :laugh:

I think it's ironic you gloat about how you're not materialistic, don't feel the need to impress people, etc, yet refer to people on benefits with a derogatory term like "doleys" (despite knowing nothing about individual circumstances), etc. That's pretty damn shallow, itself. You might not need the latest phone to feel good about yourself, you need to put others down instead. :)

PS: I agree that some people are materialistic and shallow in regards to phones, having the latest things, etc, but you're generalizing every single person with a Smartphone as being part of that group, which is way off.

what happened?

did you get knocked back on a credit check for a nokia 3310?

I've got an iPhone 5C, before that it was an iPhone 4. Wouldn't be without it!

Not an assumption, its a fact my dear ,we even have a CHILD ^^^^^ talking about a contract phone above :conf: not materialistic ? I think it is ,as for the doleys I would say 90% of doleys near me have top phones (whos paying for them ?)And please unless you know me personally dont call me angry ,as you couldnt be further from the truth ,now do as your told and ignore me

Oh okay thanks

You are basically insulting this entire thread of members and yes it is assumptions, you have no idea of anyone elses individual circumstances, maybe those people on benefits that you keep referring to as 'doleys' have contract phones and keep money away each week to pay for them.

You tell someone else if they don't know you not to call you angry yet you happily refer to all benefit claimants as 'doleys' without knowing anything about them.

That right there is complete hypocrisy.

How ridiculous :conf: ,I do know a child cannot afford a contract iphone unless they have a damn good paper round ,and what other name is there for people who claim dole ?

You can get contracts for less than £20 a month. Paper rounds are what? £10+ a week?

Yes, I can believe a teenager can afford their own mobile phone. I paid for my own at that age too.

But of course you have to jump to the cynical conclusions for everything.

How do you know they don't have a paper round? you don't. And do you think parents don't buy their children anything these days? there is still such things as Birthday and Christmas presents Chuff which would be what I think is the most likely scenario of them having a contract phone.

There is also the benefit of having insurance with a contract phone if they get lost or stolen or even just need upgraded then the phone company deals with it all.

And 'Doley' is a derogatory term for benefit claimants.

Welfare claimants

As a parent, when my child gets to an age where he is out on his own, there is no way he won't have a contract phone. I will want to be able to get him anytime and he to be able to call me....without me worrying if he's run out of credit.

Yes an iPhone 5.

Oh dear ,dear me :bored:

:hehe:

omg what the hell is wrong with people. Doleys. Ive heard it all.

Yes I have a smartphone. An iPhone 5. Due for an upgrade in September. Around the same time the iPhone 6 is due coincidently which I will probably upgrade to.

You materialistic doley. :fist:

I would much rather have an iPhone 5S than a Galaxy note 3. I really dislike the UI on Android phones.

Shut up and pay your taxes so I can get the latest technology :fist:
